Comps, Chairman DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE MEETING, Bates County Democratic Central Committee will meet in Butler on Saturday to consider plans for plac- ing ticket {n the field next year, This ts an unprecedented early call for this county, but Chalrman Combs informs us that the reasons which impelled his action in the matter was a desire to give the candidatea who have not the extensive personal ac- quaintance of some,a month ormore additional time in which to make the canvas of the county, as hele very much oppoved to & “snap” con- vention or primary, and his judg- ment is that every Democrat who desires to compete for a nomination, should be given full time in which to make & canvas of the county. Tue Timestas the same interest in this meeting of the committee as ever Democrat who earnestly desires party harmony to the end that party supremacy” may te maintained in| ; Bates ° That Democrat who oupty fis nota candidate and {s aetuated | solely for the party ood, is the best counselor on occasions of this kind, as the prospective candidate, no matier how pure bis motives, muat be biased more or less by individual interests. The worst weather we have is usual- ly in January and February when it is practically impossible fora man of she most robust constitution to get around over the county to see the people. Bates isa big county witha large population and under the most favorable conditions {t would take an active man from three to four months to make a close can- vas, and amid-winter canvas is prac- ticably imposstble and out of all reason. Such a course would give the townships in which larger towns are located a big and manifestly un- fair advantage over the country townships. After a ticket is placed in the fleld interest therein should be kept up anti] the election, and weall know how hard that is to do when the nominations are made too farabead. The committeemen are acting ina representative capacity and should Jook to the good of the party alone and under no circumstances consider the interests of individual candi- detes. If after a full discussion and faireonsideration a majority of the committeemen decided that the in- terests of the party are best subserv- ed bya primary, then that fe the will of the party and every good Democrat will acquiesce therein, Republicans, flushed with partial vwictory in county and state, will qake a herculean offort to win this coming election. There should be no mistake made in the Democratic organisation. If we start right it will be an easy matter to continueso end will help us in the end. There ebonld be no friction in the commit- tee at ite meeting Saturday, but every ber should be imbued with a nation to act for the.party ting aside Dal orl ses, ng te perce beany.

TRUST IS AGAIN GETTING REBATES Case Before Talk of Uringing N Interstate Commerce Commission in Order to Brenk Salt ¢ Hint at New and Interesting De- velo nts When Case Comes up. Topelha, Kan., Dee, 26.—The inde- pendent salt manutacturers of Kansas will bring another suit railroad commissioners unless they re- should get at the hands of the railroad commissioners in the suit now pending, The case may be commission because many of the in | dependent manufacturers think they will in this manner be able to break | the “salt trust” which is said to exist in this state, It is said that here have been re- cent developments in regard to com- binations regarding freight rates which will be interesting when the matter is made public, The independent salt men are of the opinion that the 1’ men are given advantages h the independent dealers do not enjoy. How true this is can only be made evident by a close examination, and there is an impression that this can be shown, The independent deal- ers think that this can be developed by a case being brought before the in- terstite commerce commission. It is hinted that some of the companies have been receiving rebates from the rail- roads. The last hearing before the interstate commerce commission de- veloped some interesting things re- garding rebates and it may be that more sensational news will be made public, The salt men are in a better shape to make a fight against the railroads for reduced rates than were the grain men. There are no millers to file interpleas and say that their business would be ruined by the taking away of the mill- ing intransit rates, Carr W. Taylor, attorney for the railroad commissioners, who has been leading the fight for the reduction of rates on the railroads in Kansas has been talking the matter over with the independent salt manufacturers and he said that the independent men were complaining about what they thought to be unfair discrimination. He said that he did not exactly know what the complaint was about as he had not been informed as to the discrimination. “Recently the salt business is going back to the trust and the independent dealers are quick in ascribing their loss of business to rebates. They have no evidence of such being the case, but the fact that they have lost the busi- ness on account of the trust making a lower price makes it seem to them that there is a colored man in the wood pile. No matter what the independent men think they probably will insist on an investigation. Printers Strike In Gathrie, Guthrie, Ok., Dec. 26.—Thirty lino. type operators and typesetters em. Ployed on the Daily State Capital here are on astrike for an eight-hour day. The job printers went out three days ago and were joined Monday by the operators. One Christmas Pardon in Kansas.

RZINFORC:0 BY KILITIAM:N Mleolat Depot Bowbarded by Revoiation jets from Nearby Workshops—Scene of Battle Now Transferred from Center of City to VuteKirts— als Fuded to Keple Moscow, Dec, 26.—The insurgents attacked both the Kazan and Nicholai railroads stations Monday and a lively fusilade ensued between the mob and the troops occupying the depots. Some 300 revolutionary militiamen arrived here by a special train from Perovo on the Moscow-Kazan line Monday morn- ing and & crowd of 2,000 strikers in- cluding several hundred local militia- men joined the new arrivals outside the Kazan station. The combined force seized an adjoining provision siore posted in the station, The latter re- plied and after a couple of hours brisk exchanges of shots the building held by the mob was set on fire and burned down, Meanwhile the revolutionists had bombarded the Nicholai station from the werl.shops of the Yaraslavl railroad a detachment of grenadiers on the roof of the Nicholai station re- turning the fire, The stations at Perovo and Liubertsy are in the hands of the insurgents and red flags are flying from the buildings, St. Petersburg, Dec, 26,—Monday's fighting at Moscow occurred mostly at some distance from the center of the city. The revolutionists abandoned the Tverskaia thoroughfare as it is too easily swept by artillery and concen- trated their forces in the narrow, wind- ing streets of the commercial quarter where the shops were closed and oc- enpled by the military, The mortuaries at Moscow are filled with dead, the hospitals are unable to find room for the wounded and many private houses are filled with wounded persons. The militia organized by Gov, Gen. Dowbassud has commenced its dutics incer the direction of the police, Many honses and other buildings trom which the revolutionists threw bombs were demolished by the artillery, The numerous fires which occured at different points throughout Moscow lit up the whele sky Monday night. Gov, Gen, Doubassoff has ordered that all doors be kept closed. Any in- fraction of this order will be followed by a fine of $1,500 or three months imprisonment in the fortress, The same penalty will be imposed on all oc- eupants of houses in which arms are found. —The correspondent of the Daily " ‘aph at . Peters- burg in a dispatch dated at 6:45 p. m., December 25, says: “At an early hour this morning the casualties at Moscow were estimated at 5,000 killed and 14,000 wounded, with the fighting stil! proceeding. “The inhabitants of Moscow have been forbidden to leave their dwell- ings after seven o'clock in the evening, “It is impossible to move about the city in consequence of the trequen- cy of stray bullets. Many innocent persons have been accidentally killed, “A searcity of provisions is threat- ened.” “The driving force behind both the troops and the rebels is no longer that of enthusiasm or of any human im- pulses. It is the force of superhuman hate, and hence the deeds reported are not the acts of patriots, soldiers or othewise, but the enormities of mad- men. “It is impossible to understand how any emotion even of the extremes of despair or hate, can impart such fool- hardy courage as some’ of the rebels display. “For every barricade destroyed Sun- day two or three appeared in other places. Orders were given by the rev- olutionaries to shoot only when there was good hope of bringing a man down, but otherwise to tire out the troops uptil they lost patience, “In the meantime in their houses the bulk of the population cowers in the inmost recesses of kitchens and cellars, stricken with fear apd trem- bling at every boom of the cannon or the explosftn of a bomb. “The most surprising thing of all is the loyalty of the troops, which no- body here anticipated. London, Dee, 2 Mother of Rev. Charles Sheldon Dead Topeka, Kan., Dec. 26.—Mrs. Stewart Sheldon, the mother of the Rev. Charles M. Sheldon died Monday night at her home at 1508 West street.
